Julie 3 Cups Dryer lint; 2 Cups Water; 2/3 Cups Flour Mix water and lint together in a large saucepan, stirring well. Slowly add flour, mixing well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture holds together, forming peaks. Use mixture over a base, such as a box, balloon or bottle, spreading like papier-mâché. Dry 4 - 5 days.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I am starting my collection of lint now. When I get a bag full, I am going to let the boy scouts make something. I thought about letting the kids make pictures with it then framing their art and giving it for Christmas presents next year. Speaking of boxes, I used a cardboard egg carton for my beads, etc for my jewelry. It works wonders and does not get my jewelry mixed/scratched up.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hey, Julie, I also use an egg carton for my little card embellishments. It is heavy, see-thru plastic. It was the last carton of eggs we bought, and was really niftily made, for organic eggs...it has this deal where it folds over the egg part and then there is a lid sort of for it. It's rather hard to explain <g> as you can see! What I love about my egg carton is that I can see thru to the buttons, found objects, etc, and Dixie and Bluebonnet can't get IN THERE...LOL Bron On 1/8/06, Julie Braswell <abnjb wrote: > > I am starting my collection of lint now.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I use organic eggs so I know exactly the carton you are talking about. It is neat! It's cool to find out what people use to " recycle " and what they use it for. Julie Hey, Julie, I also use an egg carton for my little card embellishments. It is heavy, see-thru plastic.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Speaking of the Boy Scouts, we used to use lint to make firestarters. You pour wax over the lint and wait until it hardens to cut it into small, finger-sized firestarters that you could pack in your bag and use to... well... start the campfire.
